Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick as Manchester City beat Newcastle to keep themselves 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League, but it is Arsenal's demolition of Crystal Palace which leads the Match of the Day running order.

Arsenal must drastically alter their wage structure and aim higher than both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if they want to compete at the top of the Premier League again, that's according to former midfielder Emmanuel Petit.

Jose Mourinho has proclaimed himself "not unconfident" over Manchester United's move for Alexis Sanchez, though he admits the deal is in the hands of Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis and Arsene Wenger.
